My AEM intake! Pictures

This took just about all day long to do with the sanding and painting and installing the the intake and strut as well as the Tenzo R springs.

get a bypass valve for the CAI, from what i've read, it get's rid of your problem. check out http://gravanatuning.com/application...e_Bypass_Valve
this can only be used with AEM though, I don't think injen makes one, but call up your local shop. If Injen doesn't make one, i'm sure you can sell yours and get a AEM no problem. GOOD LUCK hope it helps.
Only $50.00 check it out

Ordered body-match paint. Good gains too with the AEM. Actually noticable which is not what I've been hearing about he injen. Plus there is no way you're going to get water into the CAI because there is an enormous splash gaurd that cuts it off from the wheel well. The only way you're sucking up water is if you run the bitch into a river!

it says at the bottom of the page of that link that it's a universal system, but may not work with some brands, but it probably will if the dimesion are they same, there's size options on the order form, they just can't gaurantee another brand, pick one up, install it, and let me know!

I dont know about everyone else but when i put my injen cai i noticed an large difference. It made the exhaust at low rpms sound deeper also.

Paint looks good man.... dunno if I'm a total fan of turning your engine bay into a citrus fruit... but I must say it's well executed... just get a little chrome under there now and it'll be show ready...
